Recreation

The Corps of Engineers operates more recreation areas than any other federal or state agency outside of the Department of the Interior (and they run the national park system). Not bad for an organization in the Department of the Army!

In the Tulsa District, we operate some 238 parks with 5,987 campsites, 51 improved swimming beaches, and 223 boat ramps. There are also concession areas and 176 parks operated by other government or private agencies at our lakes.

Tulsa District’s 38 projects are located throughout Oklahoma, into southern Kansas and northern Texas. A great diversity of environments in the region provides varying backgrounds for outdoor fun. Recreational experiences such as hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, boating, swimming, picnicking, educational programs, wildlife viewing, equestrian riding and even scuba diving await you at one of our lakes.

Some universally accessible facilities such as restrooms, campsites, and trails are available.

Reservations

Reservations at our projects can be made through the Recreation.gov website for dates during the peak season only. The website is your source for discovering and experiencing America's federal recreation activities and outdoor adventures.

National Public Lands Day = Fee-Free DayOn September 28, 2019 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will participate in a Fee-Free Day in partnership with our sister federal land management agencies. All day use fees for visitors to Corps-managed recreation areas will be waived on this day. The waiver covers boat launch ramp and swim beach fees only. The waiver does not apply to camping and camping related-services, or fees for specialized facilities such as group picnic shelters. Other agencies that manage recreation areas located on Corps lands are encouraged, but not required, to comply with this waiver of day use fees in the areas that they manage. Come out and enjoy this Fee-Free Day at a lake close to you!
